Mr. Speaker, it is new money on top of $900 million that the federal government has put on the table this year. That makes a total of close to $1.1 billion. We are preoccupied; the minister is working very hard to find a solution. We are looking at what will be the net income of these farmers at the end of the process.
There were numbers that came out in anticipation in July, but of course in July they did not know what was to be the crop. By October they knew exactly and it has been a good crop. Now everyone is filing their applications. The program will apply. I hope that the program will be sufficient to meet the needs.
